Zoo

February 12, 2014

I’m sick of the ZOO I’m trapped in!

I’m sick of the crowd of HUMANS with their cameras and children!

I’m sick of the NOISE; theres no peace anymore!

I’m sick of the pitiful excuse for MEAT they force down my throat!

I’m sick of the idiot CAREGIVERS that caged me here!

I'm sick of the FENCE they think they can hold me with!

I’m sick of the METAL BARS resting on 12 feet of cement!

I’m sick of the SHIELD they use to protect humans from me!

I’m sick of the SMIRKS on every human’s face as they look down at me!

I’m sick of the soft little KITTY they make me out to be, instead of the king I am!

I’m sick of the MOCKING roars they tempt me with!

I’m sick of the “ATTRACTION” I’ve become, a joke in their eyes!

I’m sick of the TAME lion they trapped me into!

Tomorrow, when the FENCE CRUMBLES DOWN, all will see I'm not as cute and fluffy as I seem!
